Despite our best efforts to ignore Trump's ridiculous rants at rallies, we must bring you this, because it ranks up there with the whole "hands off my Medicare, you socialists!" nonsense.

At his Evansville, Indiana rally Thursday night, Donald Trump warned rallygoers about those evil socialist Democrats who want to "raid Medicare to pay for socialism," proving he is a cynical old goat who really thinks people are that stupid, and further proving that yes, people ARE that stupid. Listen to the crowd when he says that stupid thing, and then listen to them when he says he's sure Indiana doesn't want to become Venezuela.

Just to keep things nice and clean and the record straight, we're all clear that Medicare is, in fact, socialism. Right?

Sadly, segments like this one where our corporate media continually insists Republicans should be able to run on the economy if Trump would just stop distracting everyone with his Tweets are far too common.

Bloomberg reporter Toluse Olorunnipa tells CNN's John King about Trump and Republicans cynical move for the midterms, where they plan to run as the ones who want to save Social Security and Medicare, when actually the opposite is true.
